We appreciate the enormous support that our ABestWeb community has experienced over the many years it has served its members and sponsors. We have decided to exit this business and have placed the property up for sale and we are actively entertaining interest.

In the meantime, community members will be able to read but not post to ABestWeb beginning on Jan. 18.

We want to thank you for your numerous contributions and your ongoing support. If you have any questions, please let us know.

Discussion was the wrong word on my part, clearly there will be a lot of talking about it I don't think CP will be making any bold statements, though, unless the right people are there to represent the company.

No, nothing bad will happen, but there will be lively discussion. They better have the spin ready.

Oh no, I didn't mean I want anything bad to happen. I just meant I don't really think the issue will be addressed. It seems like there would be lots of discussion about recent events, but things often get swept under the table; and a lot easier than most would expect.

I'm with Daniel. I don't see them going into much from a legal standpoint, especially with what these are supposed to be. Hopefully they can hear more from real people who've lost part or possibly all of their livelihood, but how far can that discussion go in a setting like this?

You guys in New York might as well cross the 26th off your calendar.... the message has now been edited to say that the destination is unknown and they're drawing a city out of a hat....

Save the date Shopkeepers. CafePress is heading out for our next Meet & Greet! We're selecting a city out of hat, so stay tuned to see who it is, and mark your calendars. So mark your calendar for July 26, 2008 and check for updates with more info to come.

Teesed, there's personal stuff going on that is keeping me on a short tether in terms of miles and time away.
As for CP cancelling the New York visit-- that just looks really bad. As one of our members likes to say, "Cowgirl up or sell the horse." CP made a business decision by dumping NY affiliates. They therefore own that decision and should be willing to communicate about that issue with their NY shopkeepers. Avoiding us doesn't help anybody.

Kevin, you're invited to pick currants when they ripen. At $5 a pint you can even have a few to take home.
